Abstract
This investigation employed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to systematically examine the interaction mechanisms between CO, NO2, H2S and NH3 gases and Rh-/Ru-doped GaN monolayers. The study provides a thorough evaluation of multiple adsorption configurations, including analyses of electronic characteristics, work function variations, detection sensitivities, and desorption time constants.The results illustrate that the binding energies of Rh-GaN and Ru-GaN 2D monolayer are −9.325 eV and −10.972 eV, respectively, and they have high stability. The adsorption type of CO and NO2 on Rh-GaN and Ru-GaN 2D membranes corresponds to chemical adsorption, and the adsorption type of H2S and NH3 on Rh-GaN and Ru-GaN 2D monolayer membranes resides in physical adsorption. Moreover, Rh-GaN and Ru-GaN nanomaterials have great potential for the detection of CO and NO2. This study clarifies the gas sensing ability of Rh-GaN and Ru-GaN monolayers, and provides a theoretical basis for their practical application in the detection of toxic gases.
